Hi Bleaker.. Yes it is working fine with NX11 MP6.The problem is with MP3. Now the problem is solved with MP6 update. Thanks.

Hi Bleaker, Is the Expression Formula value and "value" column for Att_dia in listed attibutes under Part Attributes are same for instance?

Not reported to Gtac. I'm using NX 11.0.2.7 MP3 version and maintenance pack.

Hi, While working in Part Families in NX11, created user defined attribute in Template and linked to expression in the Template part(same data type, dimensionality and units).The link is not intact in instances. For example, Template part is "Part" and instance is "Part-1". Expression in...

Hi, Is there a way in NX11 to create more than one interpart expression linked to same source expression but with different expression name in destination file. For example: Source file name: ABC Expression name : Length Destination file: 1. Expression name: Length_A Interpart...

yes John, the documentation was describing using a spreadsheet to create "family of parts". As per you, it is just a generic part which will not create any instances. I'm using Tools---Part Families, option to create template and children for the same purpose as explained by you.

In your Sketch Environment, change the "Selection Scope" from "within Active Sketch only" to "within work part only".

Hi, I'm using NX8.5. When I'm going through the help documentation on "spreadsheets" I happened to see "variation on a theme" given as (a.k.a family of parts). What is the basic difference between "Family of parts" and "Part Families".

@Michael--- your suggestion works well eqaully spaced holes. what about Holes at different pitch angles??? And if I do so, I'll not have the link between n.oof Holes in Cylinder and no.of rods in assembly.

Attached the NX 8.5 models, what I'm exactly doing. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=e89ab4a5-690e-4125-b9a2-7bd7392cb76a&file=Eng_Tips1.zip

Hi, Sorry for the delayed response... Why "From Pattern Feature" will not work, when the Components are constrained to Patterned "CSYS".

Sorry... I missed it..I'm using NX8.5

Hello, Is it possible to use "from pattern feature" option for fully constrained components to create an component array? I'm able to array the components by giving two constraints align and touch w.r.t the referencing Pattern feature but I want to freeze the orientation also.

Hello John, I tried adding a "callout" attribute at the component level in the assembly and could present my Part List as needed. But the problem comes when I change something in the part file with holes and again comes to the assembly file, the part List is showing "[...]" and again I have to...

Hi, I'm using NX8.5. I had a cylindrical part with 3 steps and each step will have different parts assembled. Now, in the drafing sheet, I wanted to show a table with first column as "Steps" and second Column as "Part Number" and third column as "Qty". For this purpose I use "Part List"...
